Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is Holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10 NIV)
I am happy that it is a sunny day. I am looking for many little things to be thankful for. I have a roof over my head, a wonderful family and friends and a lot of love.
I am entering into a different season, one of rest. I am not sure what I will learn in this season, but I know it is an important one.
I know that even though I am taking time to physically heal, I can count on the joy of the Lord to give me all the strength that I need.
It was a time of celebration for the Jewish people and Nehemiah reminded them to eat and drink in Nehemiah 8:10 NIV.
I, too, must rejoice in this season even if it is a difficult one.
